Synopsis

IN WARTIME, THE RULES OF LOVE CHANGE … 1854. Britain is fighting a gruesome war. There has been no news of Lucy Gray since she eloped with handsome and impetuous Captain Charlie Harvington and embarked with him to the Crimea. Dorothea Gray will risk anything to heal the rift with her little sister and bring her home safe. She determines to join Florence Nightingale and the other courageous women travelling to the battlefield hospitals as nurses. She will not rest until she finds her sister. Lucy, however, is on a very different journey, a journey through tragedy, trauma and true love. But neither sister is prepared for the challenges they will face, the passion they will each taste and the simple fact that they might never see one another again … A spellbinding and exquisite tale of courage, adventure and love. Prepare to be swept of your feet!

I think this book has to go on my top 10 for 2017 so far. I really enjoyed it. Set in the Crimean war, two sisters end up in the war zone for very different reasons. Lucy goes to support her husband who is a Captain in the British army and her sister Dorothea goes to be a nurse under the tutorship o......more

Lately I am really lucky to be able to read some really good historical fiction book, and I am slowly becoming a fan of this genre, so when I was asked if I'm interested in taking part in Blog Tour for "No Place for a Lady", and when I read a blurb, I was sure it's going to be a real corker of a boo......more
